The Dwarven Path

This is a transcription of the cantate: "Ich ruf zu Dir Herr Jesu" of the famous pianist Busoni.(1866-1924) Acoustic environment King's Collage Chapel in Londen.
It's played in a very modest volume so don't pump up the volume!
It's meditative....

Bach, Ich ruf zu dir, Herr, transcription Busoni (performer Ad van Nederpelt)

some recent lyrics written with kind of street ballad in my head (german ‘moritat’) – pure, uncontrolled and intense. as usual it took well over a hundred of attempts (low-key!!!) and never-ending novels of prompts to get my AI-voice ‘carina’ close to my imaginations. anyway, at the end she delivered a challenging match. 

I didn’t have the chance to get a barrel organ for the final embedment (just used a reed one, accompanied by an erhu sound and other stuff), but I like the result very much because this song means a most personal topic to me.

Oh kein Gott

Hat man dich jemals schrei‘n gehört
Gespürt, dass es dich schmerzt, entsetzt, verstört
Weil alles, was du einmal machtest
Ganz anders läuft, als du es dachtest

Gab‘s da mal Zeichen, die der Himmel schickte
Ein Schwert, das einer deiner Engel zückte
Spürtest du Verzweiflung, Sorgen, Nöte
Milliarden mal Millionen Gebete

Nicht ein Versucht, ein Leid zu drehen
Du lässt es einfach so geschehen
Du duldest schweigend all die kranken Köpfe 
Das Treiben deiner tödlichen Geschöpfe

Ist das ein Spiel für dauernde Verlierer
Sehende Puppen, blinde Führer
Hat sich darin ein großer Plan erfüllt 
Ist alles noch dein Ebenbild

Macht euch die Erde Untertan
Folgt Selbstgefälligkeit und Wahn
Nehmt was ihr wollt, ihr müsst nichts geben
Ihr habt ja nur dies eine Leben

Ist Schicksal, was passieren muss?
Gibt’s niemals einen guten Schluss?
So siehst du zu, ums wie es ist, zu lassen
Statt anzubeten, müsste man dich hassen

Oh, Oh, Oh, kein Gott
Oh, Oh, Oh, kein Gott
 
lyrics google translation 

Oh no god

Have you ever been heard screaming?
Felt that it hurts you, horrifies you, disturbs you?
Because everything you once did
Turns out completely differently than you thought it would

Were there ever signs sent from heaven?
A sword unsheathed by one of your angels?
Did you feel despair, worry, hardship?
Billions of millions of prayers?

Ever tried to turn a suffering around?
You just let it happen.
You silently tolerate all the sick minds.
The doings of your deadly creatures.

Is this a game for perpetual losers?
Seeing puppets, blind guides.
Has a great plan been fulfilled in this?
Is everything still in your image?

Subdue the earth.
Follow complacency and delusion.
Take what you want, you don't have to give anything.
You only have this one life.

Is fate what must happen?
Is there never a happy ending?
Are you just watching to let things be?
Instead of worshipping, people should hate you.

Oh, oh, oh, no God.
Oh, oh, oh, no God.


Oh kein Gott

"There is always a road back, if we have the courage to look for it, and take it." - Louise Penny

"The road back is always longer than you think, but generally never as long as you fear. " (Usually attributed to F. Scott Fitzgerald)

This composition draws inspiration from those who've traveled "the long road back"—whether to find their way home, reclaim their health, or revive a cherished dream. The composition begins slowly and tentatively, mirroring the first steps of such a journey. Around the 2:20 mark, the music gains momentum, signaling that the end of the long road is near. The piece ultimately resolves on a major chord, symbolizing a successful and hopeful return.

The Long Road Back

Inspired by Erik Satie's 1920 Premier Menuet.
Artists are found in many forms and persuasions.
Loving those French Impressionists with avant-garde natures !!

Premier Menuet

Tenor saxophones wrapped around a moog core with injections of spacey flute and beats. 
(Headphones recommended).

DOUBLE WIRED

This composition, "Memoriae Gregorianae," features three "Kyrie Gregoriani" themes:
The first was sung (and notated by me) at the Mass for the enthronement of Pope Leo.
The second theme is the Kyrie theme from the Mass "Cum Jubilo" (IX. - In Festis B. Mariae Virgis).
The third theme is taken from the Mass "In Dominicis Adventus et Quadragesimae" (XVII).
The themes are prepared, introduced, and varied by me very freely.

Questa composizione, “Memoriae Gregorianae” presenta tre temi di “Kyrie Gregoriani”:
il 1° è stato cantato (e da me annotato) nella S. Messa di intronizzazione di papa Leone.
il 2° tema è il tema del Kyrie della Messa “CUM JUBILO” (IX. - In Festis B. Mariae Virgis).
il 3° tema è tratto dalla Messa “In Dominicis Adventus et Quadragesimae” (XVII).
I temi sono da me preparati, introdotti e variati molto liberamente.

Calm and pretty opening section; the minor section is more active, but there is still a sense of elegance and, I hope, charm

Letra / Lyrics:

No siempre he estado aquí (soy imperfecto) / I have not always been here (I am imperfect)

Cuando tengo frío, o tengo calor, / When I feel cold, or I feel hot,
cuando tropiezo, me quemo, o siento dolor… / when I stumble, I burn myself, or feel pain …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

Me siento extraño / I feel strange
donde tendría que estar a gusto, / where I should to be comfortable,
y me reconforto / and I feel better
cuando me relaciono bien con el mundo. / when I relate well to the world.

Empiezo a pensar en el tránsito; / I start to think about the passage;
que no siempre he estado ni estaré aquí; / that I have not always been nor will be here;
que mi vida es un entretenimiento / about my life being an entertainment
en el viaje a otro sitio. / along the trip to another place.

Y descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
si la meta de todo lo que hago / if the goal of everything I do
es comer y respirar, / is to eat and breathe,
¿qué clase de razón tengo en la cabeza? / what kind of reason do I have in my head?
¿qué soy yo dentro de este juego? / what am I within this game?

 descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
y me pongo a pensar, / and I start thinking,
y empiezo a pensar… / and I start to think …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

*** For better listening, use headphones ***

I'm Antonio Porrino (Tonino).
Graduated in Physics in March 1979, I was Researcher in Theoretical Nuclear Physics at the "Federico II" University of Naples until November 2019.
I studied music, initially at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Maiella in Naples and then self-taught piano, organ and composition.
I have been married to Anna since July 1982 and we have 5 children, Fabio, Luca, Francesca, Cecilia, Vincenzo and 3 grandchildren, Antonio, Sofia and Vincenzo, Fabio's children, married to Sara.
I founded the polyphonic choir "Vicus Novanensis" in 1992 and in 2019 "I Cantori di Maria", which have collected the legacy of the numerous "long distance adoptions" of the previous choir.
The musical activity takes place mainly at the "Pontifical Minor Basilica of Maria Santissima Assunta" in Santa Maria a Vico (Italy).
I have composed music of various genres.
My music would like to express and transmit feelings of peace, serenity and joy, contrasting those of war, hatred and oppression that seem to prevail on planet Earth, causing the degradation of the natural environment that guards us.

Sono Antonio Porrino, per tutti Tonino.
Laureato in Fisica nel marzo 1979, sono stato Ricercatore di Fisica Nucleare Teorica presso l'Università "Federico II" di Napoli fino a novembre 2019. 
Ho studiato Musica, inizialmente presso il Conservatorio di San Pietro a Maiella di Napoli e poi pianoforte, organo e composizione da autodidatta.
Sono sposato con Anna dal luglio 1982 e abbiamo 5 figli, Fabio, Luca, Francesca, Cecilia, Vincenzo e 3 nipoti, Antonio, Sofia e Vincenzo, figli di Fabio, sposato con Sara. 
Ho fondato nel 1992 il Coro polifonico "Vicus Novanensis" e nell'anno 2019 "I Cantori di Maria", che hanno raccolto l'eredità delle numerose "adozioni a distanza" del precedente coro. 
L'attività musicale si svolge prevalentemente presso la "Basilica Pontificia Minore di Maria Santissima Assunta" di Santa Maria a Vico (Italy). 
Ho composto brani musicali di vario genere. 
La mia musica vorrebbe esprimere e trasmettere sentimenti di pace, di serenità e di gioia, contrastando quelli di guerra, odio e sopraffazione che sembrano prevalere sul pianeta Terra, provocando la degradazione dell'ambiente naturale che ci custodisce.
Alcune delle mie musiche sono anche su youtube (porrinomusic)
